Resilience & Belief: Finding a way forward

A challenging night against Spennymoor, where lapses in concentration and individual errors allowed them to take advantage. These moments have been our Achilles heel recently, putting us on the back foot. But we’ve shown real strength out of possession throughout the season, and this is just a temporary slip. I can’t fault the lads; as a group, we’re giving everything and working hard to put things right, despite the obstacles we face. We simply need to sharpen up in those key moments—defending the box better and being more composed in possession when it counts.

I was particularly impressed with Sam, Dylan, Manny, and Robbie. It was crucial for them to step up, and they did exactly that. Despite the result, their effort and application were exactly what we needed. With injuries piling up—Darren and potentially Cole joining Isaac, Lewis, and Aiden on the sidelines—we’ll need to dig deep. But I have full belief in this group. We’ll regroup, find solutions, and approach Wednesday’s game with the same Farsley Celtic battle-hardened mentality.

As Nelson Mandela once said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Keep the faith, and we’ll find a way.
